After five days of fruitless searching in Minas Gerais, a drone accomplished what ground teams could not — locating a missing man, though not in time to save him. The tragedy illuminates a quiet transformation underway in Brazilian search and rescue: unmanned aerial technology is filling the gaps that human effort, constrained by terrain and time, has always left open. The outcome was not the one hoped for, but it was an outcome — and in the long human struggle against uncertainty, that distinction carries weight.
